Subject: Where's Roll-Oh??

81 years later.. I want a Roll-Oh. I remember hearing as a child how technology was going to advance our existence in the 21st century..oh the promises. Our phones are our robots..giving us the ability to be complete " twits " to one another and dumbing down the ability to even spell the word " technology " without spellcheck. Ohhhhh Roll-Oh...............

I like the dress worn by the woman during the opening minutes of this film.

....and like Spuzz, I also like the kettle that unplugs itself.

Fun little film.

Somewhat overpraised look at "the future" featuring one heck of a clunky robot, a woman who sits around and reads magazines all day, and the usual shill about how great Chevrolet is. I did like the inventions of "today", the unplugging kettle and the timed dog dish, but the rest was all just okay.
